We have to do more and we have to do it faster. The next couple of | :00:21. | :00:24. | |

Good evening. The Chancellor George Osborne is promising to reform the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
planning system to speed up development and boost the economy. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
He has told the BBC that the country cannot afford to wait years | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
for new building and infrastructure projects. Labour says the | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Government has displayed only delay and indecision. Our political | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
correspondent reports. Britain can deliver, that is the | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
message from the successful staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
So the Government is going to back more major projects, hoping to | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
drive the economy out of the doldrums to a golden future. The | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Chancellor insisted today that the economy was healing but there was | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
no easy route to a magical recovery. We have to up the tempo of | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
development and activity in this country and I think this country | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
faces a big question about its future in the world and whether it | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
is about our school system, our welfare system and the | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
infrastructure we have, have we got the appetite as a country to make | :01:58. | :02:08. | |
:02:08. | :02:10. | ||
the changes to make the -- to provide jobs? So the Government | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
will guarantee infrastructure investment using low interest rates | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
which will guarantee the construction of new homes, with | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
guarantees worth up to �10 billion. And there will be a new Bill on | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
planning to relax the rules even further. David Cameron has | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
expressed frustration with the planning system and says he is | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
determined to cut through the dither that holds the country back. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
It is short to worry campaigners concerned that there will be given | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
the go-ahead to concrete over the green belt. The Government accuses | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
Labour of creating uncertainty over planning rules. They published a | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
national policy framework back in March which local authorities have | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
been working to ensure they are compliant with by April. And now we | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
are going to sue them throwing all the chips up in the air again and | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
that makes it impossible to plan when you want to make investment. - | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
- to see them. So what is the reaction from small businesses? | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
terms of infrastructure it is welcomed but we are concerned that | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
it will not have any impact in the short term. Shovel-ready projects | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
are in limited supply and this will come on stream in over a year. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
David Cameron and Nick Clegg say they are determined to unite around | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
proposals to get the economy moving. Our correspondent joins us now. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
They are talking about growth boosting measures at the same time | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
as talking about a reshuffle. Tony Blair reshuffles became an | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
annual event but they did not always go to plan and I think David | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Cameron has learned from that, which is why he has waited two | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
years to carry out his first major reshuffle. He will be looking at | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the political balance and may be promoting right-wingers to keep the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
backbenchers happy. But when you look at the list at the moment, the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
top jobs are probably going to stay as they are, with George Osborne as | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Chancellor despite some Tories calling for him to be moved. I | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
think there will be a new chairman possibly of the Conservative Party, | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
someone who can come out and defend the Government's corner. It is in | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
the junior ranks that we will see new talent being brought in and it | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
is certainly a nervous time for those that have jobs and those that | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
want them. We can be rest assured that those MPs that come back here | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
tomorrow will have their telephones switched on. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
It has been another successful day for Paralympics GB. They have added | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
four more gold medals to the tally, in a rare ring, this is, swimming | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:43. | ||
and in the Velodrome. -- at the rear wing. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
It was the Paralympic final that looked more like a British training | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
session. Anthony Kappes and Craig Maclean against Neil Fachie and | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Barney Storey, gold and silver but which way round? Once the cagey | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
start gave way to a full throttle finish, they were simply in a class | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
of their own as they charged to an emphatic victory. There was nearly | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
a second gold medal but the men's sprint team were agonisingly pipped | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
by China on a day when tears and medals float. It was another | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
glorious day for 21 year-old Aled Davies, who blended for power with | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
even brought a -- raw power with even more raw emotion. A dance of | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
delight and a big case for his mother. Another ovation from the | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
home fans. That crowd is addictive. That stadium, I am gutted I am not | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
in another event! I cannot wait to stand on the podium. It has not | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
really sunk in yet. It has been an emotional journey to get here. Am | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
glad I can perform on the world stadium and give something back to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
that incredible crowd. There was also six s in the long jump. Stef | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Reid competed for Canada at the last Paralympics. With British | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
parents she switched allegiances and leapt to a personal best and a | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
silver medal. The rowing team also saved their best till last. The | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
mixed four push themselves to exhaustion and the gold medal. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Delight for Pam Relph, Naomi Riches, James Roe, David Smith and Lily van | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
den Broecke. There were more medals for the prolific equestrian team. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Sophie Wells on her horse Pinocchio picked up silver in her individual | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
event. And there was another silver medal for Deborah. Greenwich Park | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
is fruitful for our riders once again. Tonight the focus will be on | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the main stadium where the South African runner Oscar Pistorius will | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
be going for his first gold medal of these Games. David Weir will | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
also be racing so the fans could be in for a glittering evening. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
The bodies of a man and two children have been found at a flat | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
in Tidworth in Wiltshire. Paramedics discovered the two boys | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
aged three and 11 in one room and the man's body in another. Police | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
are treating the deaths as suspicious but are not looking for | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
anyone else. The children's mother has been informed. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Throughout the day, small gestures of affection have been brought to | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
the block of flats in Tidworth where the awful discovery was made. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
The body of the two boys aged three and 11 and the 36 year-old man | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
believed to be their father were found yesterday. Police have | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
confirmed that he had separated from his partner. He had been | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
renting a flat here for several months and he was due to move out | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
very soon. In fact it was the landlord to came round to inspect | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
the property he made the grim discovery. The police are treating | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
the deaths as suspicious but are not looking for anyone else. Their | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
mother is being comforted. Clearly it is a shocking thing to find out, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
obviously. While she is clearly distressed and shocked by what has | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
happened, she is being given the best possible support that we can | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
provide her with during this horrendous time. Tidworth is a | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
garrison town. It has had to deal with the loss of service personnel | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
in Afghanistan. But nothing ever like this, so close to home. A very | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
big shock to the community, especially when they are young | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
victims. I walk past here every day. I don't know, I just can't believe | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
it. Those involved are not connected to the military. With the | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
investigation at an early stage, the police have yet to provide a | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
full picture of what exactly led to the death here. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
A British man and his son had drowned off the coast of Majorca. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
It happened at Cala Antena in the South East of the island. It is | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
understood that the boy was swept off rocks into the sea and his | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
father jumped in after him but they both drowned. They have been named | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
locally as George Selby and his son Louis. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
A Manchester City footballer has been arrested on suspicion of | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
causing death by dangerous driving. Courtney Meppen-Walter was involved | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
in a collision offer Manchester last night in which a man and a | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
woman died. Police are searching for a missing | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
man and woman after 13 year-old girl was found alone on a boat, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Norfolk Broads yesterday evening. Divers have been searching the | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
river and the boat is being examined. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
In Pakistan, a Muslim cleric has been accused of tampering with | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
evidence in a blasphemy case against a 14 year-old Christian | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
girl with learning difficulties. He is alleged to have planted pages | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
from the Koran inside a bag containing burned papers that were | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
taken from the girl. Representatives of Rimsha Masih | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
will seek to have her released on bail tomorrow. We report from | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Islamabad. Blindfolded and thronged by police, | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
he was brought to court. An accuser now himself the accused. His deputy | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
claims that he planted pages of the Koran and unburned papers said to | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
:10:11. | :10:12. | ||
have been carried by the girl. -- a monster burnt papers. Witnesses say | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
this is then tried to a -- this is an attempt to get Christians out of | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
the area. Supporters of Rimsha Masih are hoping that this arrest | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
will be crucial. They believe that the case against a could collapse | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
completely. At the very least they hope that she will be released on | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
bail and they insist she should never have been imprisoned in the | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
first place. Just two days ago, Rimsha Masih was brought to court, | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
hidden under a sheet. Doctors say that she is just 14 with a lower | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
mental age. Her family say that she has struggled with learning | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
difficulties all her life and is now completely traumatised. And the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
trauma extends to other members of Pakistan's small Christian | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
community. They have been praying for Rimsha Masih and for themselves, | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
worrying who might be next. It is very, very sad, very depressing. | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:27. | ||
Suddenly people are accused. Sometimes I feel helpless. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
their prayers might be answered. There is increasing hope that | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Rimsha Masih will be freed. But there are real concerns for her | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
safety. At least 16 pilot whales have died | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
after becoming stranded off the coast of Fife. The rest have been | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
saved. They have been refloated and sent back out to sea. Our | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
correspondent is at Anstruther now. The good news is that 10 whales | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
have been rescued here this afternoon. There was a further | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
rescue effort and a real worry within the last hour because of a | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
female was stranded in a nearby harbour. But the pot worked | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
together and they are now heading out into the North Sea. There is a | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
real question as to whether they will stay there. This rescue effort | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
was a race against time. The emergency services and the real- | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
life experts had only 12 hours to get the whales back into the water | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
before their internal organs started to fail. Hundreds of people | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
gathered to try to help. Sadly it was too late for some, including | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
three young whales. For those left alive, rescuers knew they had a | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
window at high tide. They gathered the whales together in a shallow | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
waters. Unfortunately one thrashed 3. The others finally managed to | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
set off together. Because so many have died, it could be that some | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
have them have been on too long but the clinical signs are good. We | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
have not seen any that were not fit to be released. It is really up to | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
them. Marine experts are not sure why it the whales are here. They | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
can only guess that they followed a sick or dying member of their group. | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
The fear is that they will not stay out in the depths of the North Sea. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
This stretch of coastline will now be carefully monitored over the | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
next 24 hours to try to keep them alive. The sad news is that we are | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
told that out of the 10 Wales that they managed to save, there is a | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
50-50 chance as to whether or not they will survive. -- whales. But | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
there is a group three miles up the coastline and if they manage to | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
join together and work together, it is hoped that they will stay safe. | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Now it is time for a round-up of the sport. | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
Hello. Jenson Button had claimed his second win of the Formula One | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
season after victory in the Belgian Grand Prix. There was chaos at the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
beginning of the race as Lewis Hamilton and championship leader | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Fernando Alonso crashed out in a dramatic pile up in the first | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
corner. Romain Grosjean has been given a run -- one-race ban for | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
causing the crash. There is notorious history of accidents here. | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
But with sunshine, few would have predicted this. He has hit the | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
Lotus! Romain Grosjean over the top of Fernando Alonso and Hamilton! | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
After the break, Romain Grosjean's enthusiasm to get ahead saw him | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
push Lewis Hamilton wide with spectacular and almost dire | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
consequences. Fernando Alonso did not realise just how close he came | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
to disaster until he watched the replay. I felt like a train coming, | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
the big hit, and then looking at the image, you can see a problem | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
because the car was so close. I think we broke everything on top of | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
the car. So it was lucky in that aspect. Starting from pole position | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
for the first time in three years, Jenson Button steered clear of any | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
drama. Paul pit-stops have let him down this season but this one | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
equalled the record for the fastest. Sebastian Vettel fought his way up | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
from 10th to finish second. Jenson Button's first win since the | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
opening race of the season puts him in the hunt for a second world | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
title. In the Premier League it was a tale | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
of two transfer windows at Anfield. Liverpool failed to bring in | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
reinforcements on deadline day and were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal. The | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
goals were both scored by big-name summer signings, Lukas Podolski and | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Santi Cazorla. Robin van Persie was the hero for | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Manchester United with a hat-trick against Southampton. United were | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
trailing 2-1 with three minutes to go before he struck the winner in | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
injury time. It finished 3-2. At Newcastle came from behind to draw | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
one all at home to Aston Villa. Motherwell have moved to the top of | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
the Scottish Premier League after beating Caledonian Thistle. Ryan | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Conroy gave Dundee victory against Hearts. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
English cricketers of facing 221 to win the 4th one-day international | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
at Lord's, after losing a wicket of the captain Alastair Cook in the | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
first over. England then steadied themselves and Ian Bell has been | :16:49. | :16:54. |
